What the $39 founding membership actually buys

What SensibleDoc’s $39 founding membership covers, what is billed separately, and how the founding rate stays locked.

A lot of online clinics put a small number in the ad and a bigger one on your statement.

Usually that is because membership and medicine are two different charges. Membership is access to a doctor. Medicine is only if something gets prescribed. Fine when both are labeled. Not fine when the page blurs them.

SensibleDoc founding membership is $39 a month. That pays for the physician relationship: case review, messaging, follow-ups. It does not buy a drug or a promised result.

What $39 covers

  • Email and secure in-app messaging with your physician
  • Unlimited follow-ups
  • Adding other treatments later when it makes clinical sense, without starting over on intake
  • An annual basic lab panel

A physician reviews every case. Dose changes and check-ins are part of membership. We take new members only while we have capacity. When we are full, we close and waitlist.

Regular rate on the site is $59 a month. Founding members stay at $39 for as long as they stay enrolled. After founding closes, new members pay $59. Your rate does not step up midstream if you stay.

What you pay separately

Some sexual-health and hair treatments, when a physician approves them, are included with membership. Weight-loss medication, when appropriate, is billed separately at near-cost dosing tiers on the pricing page. Medication is never prescribed without an evaluation, and approval is not guaranteed.

If we use compounded medicine, it comes from state-licensed pharmacies and is not FDA-approved. We say that up front.

We do not practice in New Mexico or Washington, D.C.

Before you join anywhere

Check what the monthly fee covers with no prescription. Check whether that fee jumps after month one. Check how medicine is priced if it is prescribed. Check how you reach a clinician after the first visit.

Our numbers are on the pricing page. If the membership fits, complete the intake and a physician will review your case.
